We understand that our return policy did not provide the flexibility you were hoping for, and we have reviewed your correspondence with our Customer Care team to provide additional context regarding your purchase.
While you have stated that you do not intend to read our response, we will still provide one. When concerns are raised publicly about our policies, customer service, and how a purchase was handled, we believe it is important to provide the relevant facts and context for transparency. Our intention is not to change your personal opinion, but to ensure the circumstances are accurately represented for anyone reading this review.
The dress purchased was designated as a Final Sale item, meaning it is not eligible for return or exchange. We understand that you feel this was not communicated clearly enough. However, the Final Sale designation appears on the product page directly below the Add to Cart button, making the item's status available before purchase. Complete terms regarding Final Sale, discounted, and promotional merchandise are also available on our dedicated Return Policy page.
Like other online retailers, we maintain a separate policy page because it is not practical to reproduce every return and exchange condition on every page of a website. Different purchase types have different eligibility requirements, which is why a comprehensive policy page exists. At the same time, important product-specific information such as the Final Sale designation is displayed directly on the applicable product page.
It is also important to explain why Final Sale merchandise has different terms. Final Sale items are significantly marked down, often to a fraction of their original retail price. In this case, the dress was offered for less than half of its original price. If it were being sold under our standard return and exchange terms, it would not have been offered at that same deeply discounted price. The reduced price and Final Sale restriction are therefore connected.
These guidelines allow us to offer deeper markdowns while maintaining consistent standards for customers who purchase under the same conditions. Making exceptions after a Final Sale purchase would mean applying different terms to customers who purchased merchandise under the same stated policy.
We recognize that the dress did not fit as expected. However, fit can vary between styles and individuals, and an item not fitting does not change the Final Sale terms under which it was purchased. To help customers make informed sizing decisions, each product has its own garment measurements available on the product page. Because measurements and silhouettes vary between designs, we recommend reviewing the specific garment measurements before ordering, particularly for Final Sale purchases. Our Customer Care team is also available to assist with sizing questions before an order is placed.
When you contacted us, our team reviewed your order and explained why the return could not be accepted. Providing that information was not intended to dismiss or minimize your concerns. While receiving an answer you disagree with can be frustrating, our team responded according to the terms associated with the purchase.
We also want to clarify that we did not take your payment as a “donation.” The dress was purchased at a significantly reduced Final Sale price and fulfilled as ordered. The fact that the fit ultimately did not work does not make an otherwise Final Sale purchase eligible for return.
The item's Final Sale status, garment measurements, and applicable return terms were available before purchase, and our Customer Care team provided the same information when you contacted us. We have followed the terms that applied to the item at the time of purchase and provided the available information and assistance accordingly.
